Rumored to be under consideration.

Aponte is not a personnel person, she's a lawyer I think with financial background. That would be a huge mistake.

Discussion she may leave for league office.Pioli and Tannenbaum also mentioned
Pioli or Mangini with Peterson as advisor might be good to get different views,

for what, GM? Aponte is a CPA (and her first move was to screw up the cutting of Joey Porter) and knows nothing about personnel. Mangini is a failed coach and not a personnel guy with no background in it. Carl Peterson doesn't want the job and sucks anyway. Either of these choices would make this team even more of a laughingstock than it is already.

I would be fine with Pioli and what about Bill Polian?

Hogwash ... keep what we got before any of that.

The team did pretty good outside of the decision to pass on an OL he did pretty well.

The team had a chance to get in the playoffs easily and blew it. Not the GM fault except for OL.

- Coaches need a hard look in the mirror about play calling in last 2 games and getting beat by BUF twice? for shame!

Bill Polian? He's like 80 years old!

We need yutes not geriatrics…

BNF.

i'd say the lbs he overpaid kind of cripple the defense too.

aside from 5 folding chairs at oline and horrible lbs he's done a bang up job.

whiffing in the draft happens. it shouldn't happen as much as it does here but it happens

whiffing in FA is another story. not only do we get stuck with bad players but we get stuck with their bad contracts too.

Interesting that Bill Polian, a respected former personnel man, sides with Dolphins coaches and slaps down Dolphins personnel dept.

that is surprising coming from a former personnel guy.

maybe Ireland asked him if his mother was a hooker.

Polian basically said that if you don't have a offensive line that is worth a shit, you really can't be a good team... That is why he blames the personnel.. And says that the coaches did a great job getting wins, with such a mess of an oline...

maybe polian is angling for our GM job and trying to get Ireland fired to create the opening

I think he's right.

I don't think the staff has distinguished itself all that much, but when your O-line is the worst pass blocking unit in the league and one of the 5 worst run blocking units in the league, AND your defense gives up 2,000 yards rushing then how do you get 8 wins, 5 over playoff teams, if your staff isn't doing something right?

I'd be very happy to see sherman go, but not because he did a particularly bad job this year. I just don't agree with him philosophically.

My concerns about Philbin are that I don't see him as a difference maker at this point so I'm indifferent about whether he should stay or go. If he's back for one more year, I won't be upset. Just not going to be very excited.

I'm disappointed in Coyle but don't know how much to blame on Ellerbe and Wheeler be colossal wastes of space and how much to blame on the scheme.


If I'm Ross I definitely fire Sherman and Turner. If Philbin refuses and puts up a stink, then everyone goes. Ireland should probably go at this point, but If I'm keeping Philbin and Coyle and replacing Sherman and Turner then I might give him one more year, although I'd probably hire a VP to put over him if I went that route.
